Caps Cross-training Warmups

DC Sports Nexus ---- Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Comcast keeps taking us behind the scenes before each Caps game for a closer look at some of the Capitals player warm up. Looks like aside from hockey players we've got racquetball jugglers, baseball pitchers, and soccer players. Take a look at some of these different sport cross-training warmups:

Joel Ward wants to be Doug Fister...

Troy Brouwer wants to be Jozy Altidore...

Nice try...Braden Holtby wants to be some guy from America's got talent...

The Origins Of This Blog: Prior to this season I had only watched a handful of hockey games. I never really liked watching hockey and I pretty much hated the NHL. Coming in I knew the basics of the game from playing NHL '94 back in the day, but wasn't really aware of how the game really worked. I didn't know half the penalties, I didn't know that a few teams existed or didn't exist, and I was easily frustrated by many things that happened in the NHL. (Icing, Trapezoids, Biscuits, Twigs, Blue Jackets, Plus/Minus, Goons...AHHHH) However, when my beloved NBA was in danger of being locked out for an entire season, that was my cue to force myself to watch something that I previously semi-despised. That brings us to today. I am now a die hard Capitals fan...I now know a bit about hockey...but I still have a long way to go.
